Problem with FirstBarOfSession

[eurostoxx trader]

Hi

I am fairly new to the whole programming thing, but I am stumbling around the "FirstBarOfSession"

I read the "Trade Limit" sample strategy and everything made sense.

In my own strategy, I have a tradecounter and I use the firstbarofsession just like in the trade limit strategy. But when I attach a print statement after my trade counter and I check the output window I see that I get a print message that the session is restarting every minute (as I am using 1 min data)

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession && FirstTickOfBar );
            
                tradecounter = 0;
                condition1 = false;
                condition2 = false;
                Print("This is the start of the new session and the time is" + Time[0].ToString());

and I check the output window I see that I get a print message that the session is restarting every minute (as I am using 1 min data)

any ideas on what I am doing wrong

eurostoxx trader,

If you want all of those lines to only be evaluated when your if statement is true you need to include them inside { } brackets.

if (Condition)
{
     // do something;
     // do something else;
}

You also should not be ending your if-statement with a semicolon.
